Revision of <em>Bootstrapping GLIB with MinGW</em> from <em>2011, October 13 - 18:37</em>

Reason:

There is a circular dependency between GLIB and the pkg_config packages. In order to overcome the lack of the dependencies you must do a bootstrap method. This requires some basic knowledge of how to overcome the requirement of pkg_config within the GLIB configure process by telling the configure script where to find some things that pkg_config would have given it.

Requirements:

Using mingw-get install

gcc

g++

libiconv

zlib

libz

msys

msys-perl

msys-m4

Install python-2.7 and point your PATH to the installation directory e.g. /c/python as well as /c/python/DLLs.
